Rumson

Rumson is a borough in Monmouth County, New Jersey. The name of the town comes from the Lenape name "Navarumsunk", which was later shortened to "Rumson". The area was purchased by English settlers in 1665, and it became known for its sprawling 19th century estates along the shores of the Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers. Incorporated as a borough on 18 June 1907, Rumson evolved from a summer colony for wealthy New York bankers and industrialists to become an upscale suburb in the New York City metropolitan area. Rumson had a population of 6,824 in 2016.
